Community Engagement Manager / Senior Community Engagement Manager

Fixed-term until 31st July 2025
37.5 hours per week

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Community Engagement Manager to join the
Climate Governance Initiative – a unique and growing global platform to drive climate action in
company boardrooms, operating in collaboration with the World Economic Forum.

The Initiative was established in 2019 by the World Economic Forum, and is currently based at
Hughes Hall, a College of the University of Cambridge. Its mission is to help board directors
consider the quality of climate governance at the organisations they oversee, and to drive the
climate agenda in the boardroom. The Climate Governance Initiative supports a global network of
company board members – Chairs, Non-Executive Directors, and Independent Directors.

Staff of the Climate Governance Initiative are currently employed by Hughes Hall.

Job Purpose

As Community Engagement Manager, you will have a portfolio of existing Chapters to manage. You
will develop strong relationships with the Chapter leadership teams, and will acquire a
sophisticated understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges for each
Chapter. You will support Chapters to grow and to mature, and to become authorities in climate
governance in their respective countries and regions. You will encourage and enable exchange of
knowledge across our growing network.

Since the number of Chapters, Networks, their membership, and their level of maturity is
increasing, we anticipate the need for a team of Community Engagement Managers, led by a Senior
CEM, whose duties will include both community engagement and team management. We may appoint to
the Senior CEM position in this recruitment round, if we find an excellent candidate with the
relevant additional skills and experience. Otherwise, we expect to advertise for this
team-leadership position in a future recruitment.
